MSL Finals: Screens went black and the game was off

Posted by Lasse "Get.Enron" Engen 2 years ago

The screens went black





The MSL finals between Jaedong and Flash was played today, but in the middle of the third game everything went black and the game was gone.

It was the third game. The scores were even at 1-1, and it was a very exciting game on Odd Eye. Both players proved that just a small mistake can turn the game around. Jaedong seemed to have an advantage until Flash did an amazingly timed attack at the 1'o clock expansion, and the game seemed to be turning in Flash's favor.
Jaedong did however an amazing job staying alive and rescuing his expansion at 7'o clock with swarms and just a few ultralisks and zerglings preventing a massive army of marines and medics from getting to the expansion.


But before the Jaedong's fight for survival by the lower left expansion was settled the screens went black. Few seconds later the lights went back on and confusion hit everyone. The game was gone.
After discussions among the referees a controversial decision was made. Due to Flash not killing off any drones or doing any sort of harm to Jaedong's economy, and Jaedong managed to kill off some Vessels who would be important to kill the defilers and for irradiating the ultralisks, Jaedong was given the win.
The question is if he really had an advantage? Discussions has it that he didn't, and it was rather Flash that had the advantage of the game. A rematch could maybe have been a better decision.


Jaedong got a massage after the announcement of him winning the game, and got ready for the next game. We're still waiting for the next game to be played, it's currently 2-1 for Jaedong.

It is said that the game is being delayed because Flash's dad is being furious about the decision, and does not let his son continue to play the match.
He was later told by the referee to let the games go on, or else it would end in a forfeit loss for Flash.

UPDATES:

As the fourth game begins the rumors are the power outage was due to a problem with the facility's heater.

The fourth game finished fast, mutalisks and zerglings settled the game, as well as the MSL title for Jaedong, though in a very tragic way for Flash. This series will be remembered.

In the post series interview, Jaedong told us how badly he had wanted to get his 5th league win and that he knew it would be an important day.
- "It doesn't feel real yet, but I'm happy. My team and coaches have devoted a lot of time to prepare me for this match. Thanks to my fans for supporting me too."

When Flash was given his turn for input he spoke briefly and calmly.
- "There were many fans here, and I feel I wasn't able to show my best today. I also want to congratulate Jaedong for winning today."

Despite the controversy, Flash handled the situation with poise and respect, proving to all of us that he may be beaten, but he is not broken.

#1 well i dont see why you should have a reson to laugh about flash's dad beeing furious. They are playing for moneys, it's normal i think. Aniway, there are referees and it's theyr job to make a decision, you can complaint but in the end it's like in footbal, you have to accept theyr decision. In this case i think too that a rematch would have been a better choice.

Well this was fucked up indeed.

Now no1 will really consider this a real title for JD, although, if game 3 would have finished I'm pretty sure JD would be up 2-1.

But Flash spirit wouldn't be broken and game 4 and 5 would look very different.

A sad day for BW.

Flash was totally out of shape after that ?2hours? fiasco.
His team left the building, his father got banned.
No wonder he just didnt care anymore in set 4, he was totally stressed.
poor boy
still gratz to JD, big respect to him to not celebrate this victory on flashs head.

The worst part of this was that we didn't see the end of that third game in my opinion. It was a great game, and would've been even better if they ended it.

This is just not fair.

#22 gamemirage 2 years ago
WOW are you kidding i've never been so disappointed. i sat and watch hours of commercials and watch jaedong win last game thinking it was 2-2 because i thought jaedong gg'd in 3rd game. seriously horrible decision from refs, i feel for flash's dad and flash. and jaedong is probably very upset too. ugh, maybe if i had been watching eng commentary i wouldve known wtf was going on and stopped wasting my time watching. what a disgrace to sc. good way to kill sc pro gaming scene and miserably attempt to replace it with sc2

Jaedong won 95% in third game. Flash fanboys just wont realize it. Jaedong raped everything flash had, flash didnt have vessels to irradiate everything, his main was mined out, and jaedong had 5 gas. what can flash do? Nothing.

on fourth game flash had mentioned before that he didnt like fighting spirit, so it's perfectly normal to do a 8 rax in such a game. The fact that he did it on the deciding game made it a bit more unpredictable. It failed, he was under too big of a disadvantage, and lost. Jaedong simply played better this time.

Don't forget that when we have two players who are so close to perfection on their race the one with most preparation has best chance of winning. Jaedong had much more time to prepare, and he won.
This does not mean that skillwise jaedong > flash, but it does mean that jaedong played better in this set.

Jaedong won but i think he proves nothing vs flash, this wasnt how it supposed to be a final this was a total fail.

Anyways back to course i hope both players become even better and clash again in a final without this absurdities of decisions, and you know what is the worst part jae fanboys all they care is that JD won and they havent seen what crime kespa had committed again.

Even if jae would had won 3rd game fairly i believe 4th game flash would have played way different if these stupid events wouldnt had happened.

I admit that i am a flash fanboy but i also am a sc fanboy and were there are stupid and unfair decision they trully are and you cant ignore it like the absurdity they made with the "ppp" pause thing leta or someone made

Also some ppl start saying jae was winning 3rd set by much but thats actually not true the difference between them were very small a little mistake or play could have turned the events around, watch the game again and youll notice it.

#26 gamemirage 2 years ago
sorry #23 but game not over til someone ggs, especially with pros. if flash's dad is upset then i am too xD

i watched on live stream and saw the replay 2 times among over an hour of the same commercials over and over. yes jaedong did somehow amazingly defend it but its not like game couldnt have taken a turn. i'm pretty sure after all that pressure jaedong didnt think he won the game yet

#23 "ok"

i rooted for Jaedong but i cant agree with him getting a win there, it ruined the finals and will give mbc a very bad reputation.

game 1 and 2 were cute tho :)

#29 kjelldengode 2 years ago
Well, I feel sorry for both Flash and JD. JD cant really celebrate the win, and Flash maybe lost a little unfair. A rematch would be so much quicker, more fun to the audience (which really is the ones making progaming possible), and of course the most manner decision.

#33 Wanageddon 2 years ago
why end the discussion when as for me it wasnt clear why the refereees decided to give win for jaedong... that should be rematched imho, especially while the advantage was once in flash`s favour other time jaedong`s. so no good justifiaction by judges...
anyway, they decided 3-1 ok, then gg

Ky: They are experiencing some packet loss on their site/net/servers which usually happend during DOS/DDOS. Seems like a single server running the site, which even dont have a PTR-record for the IP address :)

After that 3rd there was no good decison left to made. No advance auto-saving, no UPS. They simply screved.

Frankly speaking I think the man in charge in the msl crew should appear on scene, apologize for that, apologize for his life, split the prize in half for both flash and JD. Then tell everyone to consider this msl as it has never happened and commit Seppuku...

95% no way. I honestly thought they were gonna announce that Flash had gotten the win game 3, that was my initial thought. Obviously Kespa based their decision on more info then what we as viewers could gather. Instead of showing commercials for 1 hour they atleast could have shared that info with the viewers. The stream I watched at TL had a guy translating what the commentators said and altough im pretty certain they mentioned a few factors that could have led to the decision they simply could have backed it up with the replay, pausing the game right before it ended, so we could make the decision for oursleves. Without seing the replay I can only speculate about who actually had an advantage and if so how big that advantage was.

The worst thing about it though was the mental disadvantage that the decision must have caused Flash in game 4. Your dad running in complaining, and from what ive heard, got banned from the studio after delaying the 4:th game for like an hour. How can you play your best game after something like that? And this due to a decision that might have been flawed? The obvious decision would have been a regame of game3. Fuck MBC/Kespa!

Even if Jaedong owns the advantages at that time,it is not a fair decision for Flash,anything can happen for the pros if they keep fighting.
So, MBC sucks , it could be the greatest final.

Even if Flash wasn't on 100% losing position at that time, it would not be a fair decision for Jaedong, he got the advantage.

i know from 4 set, the marine micro and the whole terran even didn't look like flash's terran(it was horrible micro and decision most unlikely flash)... and jaedong really would wanted to revenge through beating flash with in the great fights, and i still want to say both players are the real pros who tried inside of hard, stressed situations of bullshit msl...

what's the point in writing a spoiler-free article if as I open this site I see the gosubet with the results?
